giant mushroom Dryad's saddle

 I gambled on the weather to stay dry regardless the rain forecast, and I was lucky to stay dry for the whole hike Dickey Ridge and Fox Hollow Trails for 12.5 miles with 2200 feet elevation gain. It was foggy but dry : ) I saw one giant mushroom Dryad's saddle (Polyporus squamosus), but I did not know it was eatable and didn’t take it home.

We shared drinks after the hike and headed back to town early. I did some grocery shopping then ran 5 miles before it rained heavily. I will run 2.5 miles to make up my 20 hike/run miles weekend goal.
